Race Tech Gold Valves

Ok, the time has come for the bike to get a good overhaul, the shock is being sent away for rebuild and respringing and the forks are being gone through as well. I currently have some Hagon Progressive springs lined up to go in, but given that I have more time than I originally thought, I'm considering the Race Tech stuff instead. Can anyone who has them fitted give me an honest opinion on them please? I'm considering springs as well as valves.
Thanks.

I cannot speak for the valves on their own because I installed springs at the same time. But I think you will be very satisfied with the result.

If you're thinking about Race Tech emulators and springs we should talk. I have a pair of fork legs with fresh seals and oil that have the Race Tech parts inside, including properly modified damper tubes. As I recall the springs are .95 kg/mm. I'd let everything go for what you would pay Race Tech for springs and gold valve emulators. PM me if you're interested.
